Electronics, guns stolen in two Sullivan burglaries

Sullivan, NY-- Two daytime burglaries in the town of Sullivan in which guns and electronics were stolen happened within hours of each other Wednesday, the Madison County Sheriff's Office said.

The first burglary occurred just before 1:30 p.m. at a house on state Route 173, just west of East Lake Road, the sheriff's office said. The homeowner, who called 911, was in another part of the house when a man forced his way through a side-door.

The man fled the house with an iMac desktop computer and an external hard-drive, the sheriff's office said. The man and another suspect were seen driving off in a metallic golden mid-size four-door sedan. The car had a new blue and gold New York license plate on the back and no license plate on the front.

The second burglary was reported at 4:50 p.m. when a homeowner returned to his house, in the 1600 block of McGraw Road, to find the front door open, the sheriff's office said. Pieces of the door casing and the door hardware were on the floor.
